As announced in tho Phoenix, of Thursday, the programme of the va? rious celebrations of the ninety-first anniversary of American indepen? dence -was duly carried out in this city. The "glorious Fourth" was ushered in by tho time-honored ring? ing of the city boll, nt daylight-the aforesaid custom being an effective mode of arousing drowsy citizens to a realization of tho importance of tho day, and the absolute necessity of early rising, for tho purpose of fully appreciating this mid-summer holi? day; the uninitiated supposed it was a fire nlarm, and rushed to the various engiue-houses. and had tho satisfac? tion of being mado the butta of mirth-loving "old stagers"-the va? rious excuses made by thoso who had been "sold" were extremely amusing. Poor old Columbia! not a cannon could be raised within her borders, and the military contented them? selves with firing a mid-day fen de joie. The utmost order prevailed during tho day, and wo learn that there was not a solitary arrest made by the po? lice-whether this was owing to Gen. Sickles' order closing the bar-rooms, or to the law-abiding anti-disturbance propensities of the citizens-white and colored-we are not prepared to say. That there was little drunken? ness, we can positively assert-not? withstanding "private bottles" circu? lated extensively. We cordially wish many returns qf just such days nu last Thursday. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL cKLEr.n.vriON*. The nineteenth anniversary of the Marion Street Suuday School at? tracted a very large audience, at 9 o'clock a. ni. The church was deco? rated with great taste, with ever? greens, mottoes, .Ve., while the plat? form in front of the pulpit, erected for the youthful orators, was adorned with Gothic arches, snrrouudiug a photograph of the late Superintend? ent, Rial North. Esq. It was a beau? tiful tribute to the memory of one who, through many years, including i the four or five years of war nud de ! solution, had maintained the organi I i'.atiou of this school with great suc? cess. The mnsie furnished by Professor Koepper, and thc singing of tho va? rious odes, were an important and attractive feature i<f the celebration. The first address was nue delivered by Alaster Richard Atkinson, on "Our Late Superintendent;" very well re? cited. "Thc Whistle," by John Wal? ton, aud thc piece entitled "Despise not the Day of Small Things," by Master James R. Thnckam, were very deservedly received by the audience. The other pieces in the first section I of the programme, were "The Guar? dian Angels,"a dialogue, represented by Misses Cecelia Atkinson i> nd Grace O'Neale; "Something True in a Queer Way," very well spoken, by Melvin Kirk; "The Psalm of Life," delivered by Milner Gibson; "Tho Seasons," by Misses Chicora Kirk, Bertha Hoagland, Minnie North, Mary limiter, Carrie Gibson and Amelia Wightman, all very young, ' but the recitation was very perfect; as was the "Crucifixion.*' by Muster John Elkins, recited with n pathos we could not have expected from n mere child. j Willie North (sou of the late super i intendent) delivered, in good style, an address oh "The Advantages of ' Suuday Schools." This was followed j by .'The Christian Orator," by Mas ; ter James Brady; "The Heavenly ' City," by S. Gruber Deane; a dia? logue on "Conscience," by Musters James und John Beard, which was admirably conducted; Longfellow's "Excelsior," by Adolphus Cumpsty; "Aspirations of Youth," by Tyre Cathcart; "Beauty of Nature," by James Oglevie; und "Tho Bright New Cent," u dialogue conducted by Miss Irene Beard and Masters Willio McFeat and Percy Beard. Thia was a beautiful little composition, de? signed to aid the missionary cause. Next, carno a dialogue entitled "The Missionary Collection," by Masters Frank Capers, Herbert Beard, Thomas Kennedy and Charles Nipper. There was humor, ns well as truth, in this little piece, and all the young speakers did themselves credit. "The Graves of our De? parted," by Master Sperry, was well delivered. The "Closing Address," spoken by Master James Bryce, was a fine com ? .? ? ? ? ? j position, find, notwithstanding it was the longest address on the occasion, was perfectly delivered, and was lis? tened to with ?eep interest by all present. After this address, the Superin? tendent, Mr. Pape, read the following resolutions, adopted by the officers and pupils of Marion Street Sunday School: i Whereas it has been our pleasant privilege to eujoy the festivities of this day-a day rendered hallowed by many pleasant reminiscences of the past; and whereas the interest mani? fested and aid rendered us in pre? paring for the occasion have touohed our hearts and elicited our gratitude. Be ir, therefore, Resolved, That we hereby return our grateful acknowledgments to Miss Mary Jacobs, for tho kind and con? tinued interest she has manifested, aud thu successful efforts she has made, in instructing the children ol the school ?n singing the odes selected for the occn ion. . * Resolved, That we tender our thanks to Prof. Koepper, aud to tho mem? bers of tho choir, for their co-opera tiou with us in tho songs of joy and gladness connected with the exercises of our nuniversary. Resolved, That we feel under spe ciiil obligations to Mr. Charles Kirk, for tho donation and construction ol the decorations of the stage, as wei as to Messrs. Frank Thackaui, Thos. P. Purse and S. R. North, for th? kind aid they rendered him in erect ing the same. Resolved, That we will hold in grate j ful remembrance tho ladies, for tb floral offering they have presented n testimonials of their continued inte l'est in the prosperity of our school. After the reading of thc r?solu tions, Master Samuel Capers gave u a humorous recitation-"A Fei Words Before Parting." The cou eluding ode was thou sung, and th large auditory dispersed, all fcelin; highly gratified with the exhibition. THE TOURNAMENT. The number of persons of all age: colors and sexes, ou thc Colleg Green, at au early hour, proved coi elusively the interest manifested h our citizens in such displays. Aboi half-past 9 o'clock, the knights-si teen in number-made their appea aucc, and in a short time tho spot commenced-the sound of the bug being the signal. Before proceed? to describe the tilting, we must si that the knights were tasteful dressed; "summer toggery" boil the prevailing style. The follow!: knights entered the lists: Knight of Palermo-F. B. Fiel ing. Mexican Lancer-W. C. Fisher. Knight of Palestine-J. J. Flym Unknown Knight-W. B. Greer Kuight of the White Plume-B. Hilson. Disconsolate Knight-John Han Don Carlos-C. F. Jauney. Forsaken Knight-F. A. B. Joyn Kuight of the Lost Cause-P. Joyner. Cotton Town Ranger-R. A. K nan. Chesterfield-C. A. Lynch. Independent Knight-C. C. Ri oliffe. Spanish Cavalier-Lamar Stark Knight of the Blue Garter-J. Scott. Turkish Knight-L. W. Taylor. Scottish Chieftain-W. C. Wo man. The "Unknown Kuight" lost lance in one tilt; but, as it was ow to the hook being wrongly plac j the arbiters decided that he was titled to the ring, as he carried ring and hook, and gave the post severe strain. The '-Knight of the Blue C '1 found his steed unequal to the en gen cy, ami declined competing. To Ibo '-Scottish Chieftain" awarded tho first prize-a wrei i with which to decorate the fair b of the lady of his choice. He sel ed Miss Sallie Joyner as "Queel Love and Beauty." The second prize-a Lands bridle-was awarded to the "Kn of the Lost Cause," and he sele Miss Mary Speck as "First Mail Honor." The third prize-a pair of spu was awarded to the "Spanish C lier;" and he selected Miss ] McLean as "Second Maid of Hon The arbiters decided that thc dependent Knight," the "Unkn Knight," "Don Carlos" and "Turkish Kuight" were equally titled to the fourth prize-n h some whip-and consequently ran another tilt to test tho mn when it was decided that the 1 known Knight" was entitled tc prizi He selected Miss Isab* ' Kayos "Third Maid of Hon The favored ladies were se*. . au open carriage, which was surrounded by the successful i Hers, and escorted by tho entire I of knights, the cavalcade p-oee * through several of the principal streets, and thence to . the homes of the h. lies. Messrs. Fielding, Flynn, Green, Janney, P. H. Joyner, Stark, Taylor and Workman were complimented by the arbiters for excellent riding. Capt. Thomas Taylor, Messrs. D. B. DeSanssuro and James S. May rant filled this delicate position, and their verdict gnvo universal satisfaction. A heavy shower came on during the sports, which had the effect of dis? persing a portion of the crowd, but the majority stuck it out bravely. The track was sometimes encroached upon by tho crowd, but fortunately no accident occurred. The whole affair was to have been closed with a dance; but, owing to unavoidable circumstances, it was postponed. At the conclusion of the tilt, there was a contest between the "Hamm Scarum Knight"-Wm. Casson-and the "Knight of tho Green Branoh" Robert Blakeley-mounted on steeds that would have dono credit to Don Qnixotte and Sancho Panza. Their efforts to carry off three barrel hoops in lieu of rings afforded considerable amusement. TROTTING MATCH AND SCRXB RACES. At 5 o'clock, there was a trotting match at tho race courso, purticqjated in by horses belonging te citizens of Columbia. This match, be it under? stood, was only intendod to furnish a little sport to the friends of the owners of the nags. Small .MIDIS had been put up as prizes, and a nominal price charged for entrees. We omit the proper names of the owners, and will designate them as ye proprietor of yo hotel, ye butcher, ye dry goods and ye grocer. Ye dry goods' animal carno out ahead in each heat, but the judges decided that ho was allowed too much "run" for fair trotting. His owner was satisfied, declaring that he was "determined to be ahead of the procession"-and he was. Ye butcher was withdrawn. Ye grocer, notwithstanding many good points, was beaton by ye hotel proprietor. "Clodhopper" was the winner's name. The time -was not the best, and we ^ therefore omit mentioning it. Next was a scrub race, in which a nag belonging to one of tho . 'Knights" of the morning "came within an ace" of winning; but one of his op? ponents, with a horse belonging to a relative of a Columbia physician, struck a piece of hard ground, and passed the score by a foot. Another scrub was made up, but the "Knight" was again unfortunate, the "butcher's nag" ibeing tho winner. Of course, on the road homo, there were any number of x^rivate matches, but as there was no purse, the winners neglected to report the result; and of course the defeated ones kept quiet. THE INVT3IBI.ES. At a late hour in tho afternoon, a motley assemblage of white and co? lored individuals-the former black? ened and the latter whitened-parad? ed the streets, followed by an immense throng. The dresses were uncouth in the extreme, and as a consequence afforded all the more sport. UNION REPUBLICAN MEETING. At 8 o'clock, according to previous notice, a number of persons assem? bled on the Arsenal Hill, and, pre? ceded by a baud of music, marched through tho principal streets to the vacant sqnaro on Plain street, East of Nickersou's Hotel. The following societies were represented: "Union League Association," "Refulgen! So? ciety," "Mechanics' Association," "Sons of Honor," "Young Union I Society," and "Friendly Union." A platform had been erected, but it could not "resist the pressure" brought to bear on it, and fell, slightly injuring soveral individunls. It is supposod that there were fully 2,000 present. Tho exorcises were opened with prayer by a colored minister, Rev. Wm. H. Brown, when Wm. Myers read tho Declaration of Independ? ence. Col. Thos. J. Robertson then introduced to tho uudience Col. R. B. Carpenter, of Kentucky, Register of Bankruptcy in our neighboring city, Charleston, who delivered the following admirable address: MK. CHAIRMAN, AND FELLOW-CITI ZENB OF SOUTH CAROLINA: I have been introduced to you as the orator of the day; but the notice gi van to me of this meeting has been so brief, that, taken in connection with my professional and official duties, I have not had timo to prepare such an ora? tion aa I would like to deliver. I come to you, therefore, in the Ken? tucky style, to give you a plain, old 1 fashioned talk upon the question now
